The 2008 season if over and thanks so much for all who helped make the season great! Thanks to all our sponsors, including Shadow Oaks. Special thanks go out to the Dorminys for all they have done for this club! Thanks also to Gail and her crew for keeping our shows running smoothly! Thanks for all who participated in the fund raisers (Stick Horse Auction/dog show/Pro-Am class/Silent Auction) that enabled the great awards presented to the TOP-FIVE in ALL Affiliate classes at Clemson. SERHA now has the taken the bid for the Affilate Sponsorship for the next two years. In 2009, the SE Affiliate Finals will be held in Williamston, NC the end of October.
Due to confliction with the Carolina Classic Derby, and the limited dates available at Perry, the 2009 Futurity and Derby shows will be held the same weekend in August, expanding the show to 4 days. There will be no July show, so that means just 4 DRHA Affilate qualifying events. Our first show is March 6-8th. Sponsorship is always welcome!
DRHA as a club was well represented with many of our members doing very well in both the NRHA Top-10 standings as well as the Affiliate Finals in OKC. Congratulations to our NRHA 2008 WORLD CHAMPION INTERMEDIATE NON-PRO, Katarina Dorminy!
